Aloha All,
Growing up in SoCal in the 60's & 70's I remember the Tiki Vibe in alot of places (I wish they were still around) but, hey there are alot new cool places to go. I never really collected much Tiki stuff, just shirts. Now my wife & I both are into collecting, we have a small mug collection & I have purchased a few art pieces. Our kids are grown so we have an extra room, patio, & backyard to totally Tikify. I hope to post picture of our progress as soon as I get started.

I come here a lot so I figured I might as well join. I'm an avid Tiki fan and amateur carver. I collect mugs, art and any other poly pop I can get my hands on. I used to live in Atlanta where I spent most of my time at trader Vic's and attended the Tiki Torch nights. Now I'm in LA and attend the Tiki Ti and a few other Tiki haunts here like the Tonga Hut. I don't have much to say right now, so I'll just say Mahalo.

I have been a lurker for some time now and decided to join the group. Located in Long Beach, CA and I am in the process of building my home Tiki Bar. Thanks for all the great info you guys have provided and continue to provide.

gonegoannas, this site is full of great inspiration for your home bar build! Good luck and don't forget to post shots.

BrokenHeartTiki, good luck with the mugs, I would love to make a few mugs one of these days too. I'll keep my eyes open for your designs in the creating section.

Hi everyone, New to the forum and looking for information on tiki carving. I am located in VB and I see there are a few others on here from VB too. I built a modified tiki hut/bar in the backyard a few years ago and have decided to add some tiki poles to dress it up. The pic is me at my favorite place in the summer. Nothing like sunshine, cold drinks, and good friends to spend the day.
